for very strange reasons. Some were tricked by scammers, some fell victim to set-ups, and some were simply arrested without any clear reason at all.Black Widow frowned, her expression grim. "How is t..."...No...no...not at all, it's just that I personally find you guys unpleasant..."

Although Xia Zhe denied it, his words lacked conviction and he stammered.

It's no wonder, he was originally supposed to be playing a corpse, just waiting three days later for the benefits.

But I didn't expect this situation to arise suddenly, and I wasn't at all prepared.

"If that's the case, then we'll follow protocol."

Zhang He roared, "You audacious Xia Zhe! To feign death and frame the Tianfeng Empire is a grave offense. According to the rules of the Discipline Hall, I hereby revoke the Thousand Leaves Empire's right to compete and strip you of your cultivation!"

His words were well-reasoned and, to the ears of others, sounded quite reasonable.

After all, the mistakes made by the Chiyo Empire this time are enormous. If it weren't for Ye Bufan's superb medical skills and the ability to revive the dead, I'm afraid the one who would have been stripped of his qualifications now would be the Tianfeng Empire.

Therefore, no one objected to the punishment announced by Zhang He.

But Xia Zhe was different. This result was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, with no trace of the expected benefits and instead met with such severe punishment.

To have a cultivator's cultivation base revoked is akin to falling from the heavens to the dust, becoming completely useless. How could he possibly accept such a fate

Seeing Zhang He about to attack him, he panicked and looked at Zheng Wei beside him.

"Grand Elder, please hurry and find a way to save me! I don't want my cultivation to be abolished, I don't want to become a useless waste!"

Zheng Wei frowned, the situation had developed to this point, which was beyond his expectations.

"What do you want from me You may be a student of our Lingxiao Academy, but your personal mistakes have nothing to do with the academy."

Seeing the other party approach him, he immediately distanced himself.

Xia Zhe had not told the truth before because he still held out a glimmer of hope in his heart, believing that Zheng Wei could save him.

Now, seeing this old thing kick itself away with one foot, it could no longer care about much, and immediately called out.

"Grand Elder, you can't do this! You told me everything would be fine, and now you can't just leave me!"

Suddenly, there was an uproar. No one expected the mastermind behind this conspiracy to be Elder Lingxiao of Lingxiao Academy.

Zheng Wei's face changed: "Don't talk nonsense, what does this have to do with me"

"How is that none of your business If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to deal with the Tianfeng Empire! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to deal with Ye Bufan! Where would I even get the fake death pills"

It's you, you made me do everything!

You promised me ten thousand high-grade spirit stones upon completion, and also to let me enter the Tianshao Prefecture branch of the Lingxiao Academy...

"Damn scoundrel, even at death's door you still want to frame this old man!"

Zheng Wei glared fiercely at Xia Zhe, then addressed the crowd, "Everyone, don't believe his nonsense. This has nothing to do with me."

As a cunning old fox, he always did things without leaving any trace. Even though Xia Zhe pointed the finger at him, there was no evidence whatsoever. Therefore, his words were delivered with unwavering confidence.

There was a moment of silence. Deep down, most people had already believed what Xia Zhe said.

After all, if it weren't for Zheng Wei instigating him from behind, a student of Senri Academy would absolutely not be capable of doing such a thing.

Moreover, the conflict between Zheng Jia and Ye Bufan, as well as Tianfeng Empire's secession from Lingxiao Academy to establish its own sect, is an open secret.

But since this had nothing to do with them and there was no concrete evidence, nobody spoke up. They all turned to Zhang He instead.

“Elder Zheng, before the investigation is clear, to avoid suspicion, you should not participate in the rankings from now on.”

Zhang He said, "Moreover, I will report this matter to the Lingxiao Academy headquarters. I believe there will be a fair outcome."

This is already the limit of what the Grand Steward can do. After all, there's no evidence right now. Even if there were, the Grand Elders of Lingxiao Academy wouldn't have the authority to deal with it.

Zheng Wei snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Ye Bufan one last time, then swept her sleeves and left.

After he left, Zhang He looked at the setting sun and directly announced: "It's getting late. Today's team battle is over. The individual match will resume at dawn tomorrow."

Everyone dispersed, and Ye Bufan returned to the station with everyone from the Tianfeng Empire.

As soon as she entered the room, Naran Yujia angrily cursed: "That old scoundrel Zheng Wei is too shameless. He even came up with such a filthy scheme."

This kind of person, just kicking him out is too cheap. He should have his head twisted off and used as a ball.

Upon hearing this, a flash of excitement crossed Xiaoqing's eyes: "Brother Ye, should I go and twist his head off right now"

Ye Bufan waved his hand. "Alright, it's not the time yet. The most important thing right now is the competition." What he cared about most was indeed the newcomer ranking match, or rather, that red Yuanguo.

Lu Xue Man said: "Zheng Wei, that old thing, probably won't let it go. He'll definitely try every means to target us."

Ye Bufan nodded. Though half the competition had already passed today, he hadn't encountered a true powerhouse yet.

Especially yesterday Lu Yudi's words about the four people, they were truly her final real opponents.

At that moment, a servant from the station ran in.

"Master Ye, someone is looking for you."

Ye Bufan raised his eyebrows. Who would come to him at this time

He stepped out of the room, and the others followed him.

After going outside, I saw a tall and thin young man standing in the yard. He was dressed in black and had a long sword on his back.

This person stood there, their expression unchanging, as if they were a statue.

At the same time, he exuded a powerful aura all over his body, to be precise, it was sword intent. He felt like a sword itself.

Ye Bufan immediately recognized this person, the captain of the Fengxuan Empire, Liu Yijian, known as the first person in Cangfeng Academy.

He was a little surprised that this person would come to him.

"Do you have something to ask me"

Liu Yijian looked over, his eyes cold.

"Is your medical skill good"

"Yes."

Ye Bufan nodded.

"I want you to cure someone's illness."

"Okay!"

Ye Bufan readily agreed.

Liu Yi Jian's icy eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he hadn't expected the other party to agree so readily.

"Alright, follow me."

Stunned, he blinked and the look vanished. He soon turned and walked towards the door.

Ye Bufan waved his hand and called up Xiaoqing. The two followed behind.

Liu Yi Jian did not return to his residence within the inn, but instead walked straight out the gate and onto the main street.

Ye Bufan didn't think much, he just walked beside him.

After walking for a while, Liu Yijian said, "Don't you ask who I'm treating"

"It's unnecessary," Ye Bufan said calmly. "I'm a doctor, and in my eyes, there is no difference between patients. I treat everyone equally."

Liu Yi Jian turned his head, gazing at him with burning eyes: "You trust me so much, are you not afraid that I've come to kill you" creatures. Often, it employs "fighting poison with poison" strategies.Three more days passed, and the two of them had almost retraced Ye Bufan's remaining territory.That day at noon, they continued t...
